lyrics

The high street buzzes in the night time
With bodies lit up in the starlight
Across the tracks I slide to meet Lisa at the check-in line
She would…

Pull me tight like a runner in the night
With a promise on her lips and the devil in her eyes she’d cry
‘Let’s stay out all night’

Sunshine is waiting for us at the finish line
As we open our hearts to the sound of the stars dancing in the sky

Down on the steps they’ve got their hands tied
Punch-drunk love hit them on the blindside
Me and Lisa step inside to be buried alive till closing time
Then she’d…

Take my hand lead me back across the tracks
To that barren land on the hilltop high and sigh
‘Don’t leave me alone tonight’

Sunshine is waiting for us at the finish line
As we open our hearts to the sound of the stars swaying in the sky

‘Don’t close your eyes just yet the moon won’t let us drown in the night
And come the sunrise… your be alright’

Our days spent dancing on a fine line
Caught out by full moons and high-tides
As we sit here and watch the day rise
It makes me realize…
To be young, is to be free, is to be alive

Sunshine is waiting for us at the finish line
As we open our hearts to the sound of the stars dancing in the sky
They dance for you and I, its all in our hearts and minds
